How can we address growing climate challenges while securing a sustainable food future? Thoughtful management approaches for fish, shellfish, seaweed, and other aquatic species — also known as blue foods — can be part of the solution. Research shows that under sustainable harvest practices, blue foods can support countries’ climate adaptation and mitigation efforts to lower emissions while providing vital sources of protein and nutrients to billions of people globally. In this video, meet changemakers in Mexico, Indonesia, and the Pacific Island region who are securing climate-resilient, sustainable blue foods. As members of a fishing cooperative, a government ministry, and an international development organization, they share efforts underway in their local communities, countries, and regions to leverage blue foods for climate action.
